As always, there are NO membership or entry fees with FAST On Dirt. Thanks to NAPA of Fremont, Brave Breed Rescue, The Cushion.com and Outsider’s Merchandise and Apparel, heat races will pay the top 4 finishers $40, $30, $20, $10. Kear’s Speed Shop and Elizabeth Gardner Photography will pay $50 each to the hard charger and hard luck awards.
All cars must be on 4 Hoosier race tires. The left rears must be the H12 national spec tire, while the right rears can be a choice of the H15 or Medium. Teams do NOT have to run the same right rear all night. Wings must be flat top with a maximum 2″ wicker bill. NO mufflers required. We will be using the red AMB transponders and Raceceiver radios ARE mandatory at all times cars are on the track.
If there are 30 cars or less, drivers will draw into 3 heat races and time trial two at a time for two laps, only against their heat race. In the event there are 31+ entries, the field is split into flights A and B. Drivers will time against their flight with heats 1 and 2 coming from flight A and heats 3 and 4 coming from flight B. Heat races will see a 4 car invert. The fastest qualifier locks into redraw providing he transfers out of his heat race. The heat race winner will also go to the redraw.
The FAST on Dirt tour will have a limited amount of tires available for the weekend. It is best to call ahead to reserve specific chalk marks. All teams will be paid at the conclusion of each event. Teams can wait until the end of the weekend to get paid in full. Watch for some added bonuses to be announced in the coming days along with a special hotel rate and some other perks!
